#A Meru land court paused proceedings to check whether the same dispute was already decided in an Isiolo case.
What this practically means
#Executive summary
#This is a brief interlocutory order, not a full first-instance judgment, issued by L.N. Mbugua, ELC Judge, in the Environment and Land Court at Meru in E&L Case No. 187 of 2017, Grace Kajuju v Isaiah Kobia & Florence Karimi. The applicant (plaintiff) had averred, apparently in an affidavit, that there existed another case, Isiolo P.M.C.C 12/11, in which the subject matter was the same as in the present suit. On that basis, the court directed that the court order mentioned in paragraph 11 of the applicant's affidavit be availed, to enable the Court to give further directions in the matter - evidently concerning a possible question of the same subject matter being litigated in the subordinate court. The matter was set down for mention on 26 October 2017. The order was delivered, dated and signed in open court at Meru on 21 September 2017, with Carlpeters Mbaabu appearing for the plaintiff and the defendants absent; the court assistant was Janet. The order determines no claim, makes no findings on the merits, cites no authorities or statutes, and makes no order as to costs. It is a case-management direction pending production of the prior court order, and the substantive suit remained pending before the ELC.
